  • The English quartet compile some of the bigger and brasher electrohouse choons of the year, including cuts from Simian Mobile Disco, Mylo and MSTRKRFT. Freeform Five is actually four: lynchpin producer Anu Pillai and vocalists Cabba, Tamara Barnett-Herrin and Nick Decosemo. Who better to describe the project than themselves? 'It's like one part Prince, mixed with one part Kraftwerk and one part Blondie, throw it in the acid house party blender with a healthy measure of sex and you get Freeform Five,' says Anu. Their tracks have been remixed by Ewan Pearson ('Perspex Sex'), Tiefschwarz ('Electromagnetic') and Mylo ('No More Conversations', which appears on this comp), but they're also no slouches as remixers themselves, putting their hand to tracks by Annie, X-Press, Gabriel Ananda and even Elton John. But perhaps they're best known for their re-fashioning of Isolee's 'Beau Mot Plage' in 1999 from minimal techno gem into Brazilian-acid-funk-Key-Of-Life house belter.
